[xsl] Selectively convert Attributes to child Elements

Subject: [xsl] Selectively convert Attributes to child Elements

NOTE: I had to repost from a separate email address. My apologies if
you are seeing this again.

I want to transform an XML document, and selectively convert
attributes to child elements (some but not all attributes).

These are the attributes I'm trapping:

<xsl:for-each
select="@title|@displaytitle|@description|@catname|@prefix|@text">

PROBLEMS:
The current INPUT XSL file (which I found & tweaked from
http://www.biglist.com/lists/lists.mulberrytech.com/xsl-list/archives/200011/
msg00567.html)
doesnt output the ROOT element, and currently strips all attributes
(it only outputs the parent element if it strips the attribute). With
the exception of the above attributes being output as child elements,
I want to preserve the current XML document.

INPUT XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
